9008584257?profile=originalPerhaps you assume that steakhouses in NYC or any city for that matter are a dime a dozen and not the least bit unique. Perhaps for a vast majority, you would be right but Empire Steakhouse next to Rockefeller Center is owned and operated by a family who have raised cattle, helped prepare, and served choice cuts since they were children.

How Not To Travel Like An "Ugly American"

 

It's part of travel's enduring mythology: The American tourist, unable to manage even a few sentences in any language other than English, and oblivious to the culture and traditions of other countries.



The unflattering image of the "Ugly American" is a bit unfair, perhaps, but the "USA Number 1!" attitude persists among many American travelers.

So Dean Foster, self-styled master of global etiquette and cross-cultural trainer to the world,

By Roy Heale

            

           Every now and then during my travels I am fortunate enough to stay in remarkable accommodations that have their own unique and memorable features. Such was the case when I walked though the front door of Chez Wadi Pousada in Buzios, Brazil. The aura of peace and tranquility was instantly apparent, but perhaps more importantly I immediately felt right at home. Located just about 100 meters from the Manguinhos Beach, Chez Wadi is the perfe

Inca Trail Preguntas

Preguntas is the Spanish word for questions. I feel like I’ve been driving the guy at Wayki Trek a little bananas with all of my questions. Wayki Trek is the outfitter in Peru that I will be partnering with to offer trekking options such as the world-famous Inca Trail. I found Wayki Trek via the Andean Travel website. They were recommended because of their fair and ethical treatment of porters.

 

The Inca Trail is no walk in the park. It’s long—26 miles. And, you cross two mountain passes of nearl

A Bitterly Cold Drive to Skagway, Alaska

December 17th was the perfect day for a drive from my home near Whitehorse, Yukon, to Skagway, Alaska - very cold with high north winds at Skagway but clear all the way.

This is a shot of the temperature gauge in my car as I was about to turn onto the Alaska Highway at 9:24am. It only goes to -30°C (-22°F) - when that's what it reads the temperature could be anything lower than that. It was actually about -34° at Mary Lake but probably got a few degrees colder a few miles south.

This is why my friends and I always gather at some apartment and have our own little New Year’s Eve party.  But I understand that about 6.99999 billion people on this earth are unfortunate enough not to live in Paris, even though they of course love to go there for New Year’s, so I decided to put up a litt

Almost synonymous with holiday is family. After all, it is our familial ties that require us to show up to our least favorite aunt's house and actually stay for more than 15 minutes. But most people are even vocally more appreciative of their families and seemingly more aware of their worth during the holidays. After working year round for the same people that drive you a little crazy, a little R& R wouldn't hurt anyone. We've got three of the top family destinations giving you ample reason to
